The two defenders are praised far and wide by teammates and coaches. If you’ve become an Everton fan within the last ten years (like myself), there have been perhaps but two constants: Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka . The two defenders have been rocks at the back for the Blues, and this week a...

Steve Walsh opens up on two of this summer’s acquisitions.

Walsh was named director of football at Finch Farm,...

The names being linked with the Blues get wilder and wackier As if the reports earlier this summer linking Christian Benteke to Everton weren’t bad enough, the Guardian are linking Everton with a £20 million move for ex-Red Andy Carroll . Benteke is capable of doing positive soccer-related things...

In today’s links: DCL’s firsts, Everton honors Jags and Baines, and more from Koeman. I mean, it’s been a bad start, but it hasn’t been THAT bad right? At least, we’re not Crystal Palace for now.

Provides manager some respite with calls for his head growing louder While international breaks tend to be the bane of Premier League football, the October break is one that could not have come too soon for Everton manager Ronald Koeman . The Blues have continued to struggle despite the fixture l...

Koeman has decent options, if he’d only be willing to use them. I have been very critical of Ronald Koeman this season. Actually — maybe very critical isn’t strong enough of a characterization.

Defender staying strong during crisis Of all the new boys that Everton brought into the squad over the summer, it’s arguable that ex- Burnley man Michael Keane has been the pick of the lot so far.

Fresh reports from Spain suggest Kevin Gameiro is on the Toffees’ wanted list After Everton ’s failure to land a replacement for Romelu Lukaku over the summer it’s no surprise that rumours have already begun over possible January signings.

Match for match, we’re not very different than last season So that wasn’t much fun. Despite looking and playing better than in any match since the Manchester City draw, Everton lost once again.

Three thoughts for yet another shoddy performance Sunday Line-up changes fail to make a difference Ronald Koeman opted for a very different set-up compared to what we’ve seen so far this season.

The Dutchman injected more pace into his starting XI, but it wasn’t enough. To start, I have to begrudgingly admit I owe Ronald Koeman an apology. Ahead of this match, he suggested his team ought to play more direct, and he might employ players a little more capable of moving the attack forward q...

Everton Ladies lost their first away game of the season to Birmingham City Ladies.
